The third and final installment of the Mission of the Heart series! Eighteen year old Jillian Frances knows exactly who she is and where she's going in life. After overcoming her sister's murder, she's finally once again on solid footing. Nothing will change her path. Except maybe Quinn Farris, her best friend and ex-boyfriend. Quinn and Jillian have had their ups and downs since meeting at a Bolivian school for missionary kids two years ago. Though they love each other deeply, Jillian won't be with Quinn because of their differing beliefs. As they head to different colleges and meet new people, it seems like they will never work things out. But soon they will learn that being far apart in distance isn't the same as being far apart in spirit.

He has become enamored with Beechum Finch for an entirely different reason and one night at Riverplace Pizza he decides to pursue it. What happens as a result changes everyone’s life.
